3k is a bit high esp for a 81
I paid $800 for one an 83 sd with diesel bugs
later they got an air bag and anti-lock brakes
avoid the post 5 banger 6's esp the 3.5 motors
buy the big bottle of tank cleaner and use it like the fuel treatment
it is the same chemicals just way cheaper in the bigger cleaner size

$3k is not high at all for a decent MB diesel, at least here where they generally do not rust. I would not sell my w116 turbodiesel for double that but I could if I wanted to in the next 24 hours. There are not many good ones left. Lots of stinking garbage.
